    Episode 21-Performance-Based Learning & Assessment: Why Now?
    Jun 16 2026

    In this episode, the School Improvement Team discusses why performance-based learning and assessment is such an important conversation for schools right now. The group breaks down what PBLA means, how it connects to authentic and project-based learning, and why it is not about eliminating tests, but expanding the ways students can demonstrate what they know and can do.

    The episode also introduces the regional PLAN Pilot, a Genesee Valley BOCES initiative designed to support teachers and leaders as they develop meaningful, discipline-based learning experiences and assessments for students.
